Explained simply
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is the planned third game in Square Enix’s remake trilogy, which retells and expands on the 1997 role-playing game Final Fantasy 7. The earlier remake games follow Cloud Strife and his allies as they oppose the Shinra corporation and confront the threat posed by Sephiroth.
The original game became one of the best-known entries in the Final Fantasy series, and the remake trilogy revisits its characters and story with updated visuals and gameplay. Gamescom Opening Night Live is a presentation held before the public opening of Gamescom, a major video game event in Germany.
